PREFACE
While appearing in entrance examinations of undergraduates aspiring for postgraduate degrees or diplomas like DO, MS/MD (Oph), and DNB (Oph) multiple choice questions (MCQs) have been accepted as the norm. During oral and practical examinations, the candidates are supposed to be familiar with the types of questions and their suitable answers. I have seen the emergence of MCQs with answers, MCQs with explanatory answers and subsequently quick reviews of postgraduate medical entrance examinations. For catering the needs of both entrance and postgraduate examinations I have been thinking of preparing a small volume and this process is enhanced by the appearance and acceptance of ℞PG Buster series in other specialities. More than 1000 possible questions are selected and answered. Answers are prepared from A Textbook of Ophthalmology (2nd edition), Prentice-Hall of India, 2001 and also from several other reputed textbooks.
I gratefully acknowledge the sincere support received from Shri Jitendar P Vij, Chairman and Managing Director and Mr Tarun Duneja, General Manager (Publishing) and Mr Sandeep Gupta and others of Kolkata branch of M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd., New Delhi. This work would not be possible if I would not get uninterrupted moral support from my family members.
